Power Compactor

A power compactor, also known as a plate compactor, is a heavy-duty machine used to compact soil, gravel, and asphalt in preparation for paving. It consists of a vibrating metal plate that moves rapidly back and forth, compacting the material beneath it. Power compactors are essential in landscaping and construction for creating a stable base that prevents settling and ensures the longevity of paved surfaces. They are commonly used in the preparation of driveways, walkways, and patios. Power compactors are available in different sizes, with some models designed for tight spaces. Their efficiency and effectiveness make them a vital piece of equipment for professional-grade landscaping projects.
